I'm Ewan Donald, an independent funeral celebrant, with a passion for helping families celebrate and honour the life of their loved ones.

​

The first eulogy I ever wrote was for my mum. The importance of properly honouring who she was helped me with her passing.

​

​

​

​

I recognise the profound responsibility of creating a memorable and personal service, and with my expertise, I will help you create the perfect farewell.

​

HOW IT WORKS

HOW IT WORKS

​​​

​​

​        

​​

​​

As an independent funeral celebrant, I am not bound by any specific religious affiliation. My ceremonies are designed to honour and celebrate the individual who has passed away. While I primarily focus on crafting a personalised tribute, I can also incorporate hymns or readings from the Bible. 

​

​

I believe that every person is unique, and their tribute should reflect that. That's why I take the time to get to know the person behind the ceremony, to ensure that the eulogy is an accurate representation of their life. 

​

​

I offer a personal service, visiting you and your family at home or arranging a Zoom call at a time that suits you. This will last up to 90 minutes. 

​

 

During this conversation i will gather all the necessary information to create a truly unique and memorable Eulogy for your loved one.

​

​

​​​You will have opportunity to oversee, discuss and approve the eulogy should you choose.

PRICE

My fee is £250, which includes gathering information, writing, and delivering a personalised eulogy.

​

This fee applies to services within Edinburgh and the Lothians.

​

For services outwith this area, a small additional travel cost applies to cover mileage and time.


Travel is charged at 55p per mile (round trip) beyond 20 miles from central Edinburgh.

​

I always confirm the full fee in advance so there are no surprises.

A LIVING EULOGY

​

​

How much do your loved ones truly know about your early years, the experiences that shaped you, and the journey that made you who you are today?

​

Too often, I meet families who realise—only too late—that they know very little about their loved one's childhood memories, defining moments, and personal triumphs.

​

A Living Eulogy gives you the opportunity to share your story now in your own words.

 

For £200 we can create a heartfelt and meaningful reflection of your life—from your earliest memories to the present day.

​

However you choose to tell your story, I’ll help you ensure it is preserved and celebrated the way you wish.
